Business listings must go in their proper category. If it is a service (i.e. NOT an actual item), it MUST go in the Businesses & Services category. Businesses must post items in the paid business category if it exists (e.g. Real Estate - By Agent). If a business is selling specific items, they go in the appropriate category. When in doubt, contact us for clarification.

Firearms, parts, and ammunition. The only guns that may be listed are those powered by air
such as Ball-Bearing/Pellet, Airsoft, and paintball markers - but ONLY where legal. If you are U.S. military living overseas, the SOFA agreement may prohibit them as well. Check your local regulations. No other
type of guns may be posted for sale. There are too many
local/state/federal laws regulating gun sales and we prefer to
err on the side of caution than to allow a member to be arrested for
accidentally breaking a law. Additionally, wanted ads for firearms, parts and ammunition may not be posted.

Any weapon requiring a permit

Government-issued military gear

Overposting of items. Don't post the same item more than once/week. When you do repost it, reduce the price, add pictures, extend the description, and seek to make it more appealing. Overposting clutters the site and turns buyers off to your items.

Free items that aren't free or aren't items. "Free to look" or "Free mary kay with purchase" or "free pampered chef party" or "free estimate" aren't items. It must be an item, 100% free, no strings attached (except in the case of certain toys or puppets that require such strings).

Non-local items. Generally, non-local items are placed by scammers. If you can't easily meet the person locally to conduct the transaction, the posting is best placed on other venues.
